Free anti-virus for Mac - 150,000 active users and plenty of malware found

http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2010/11/18/free-anti-virus-for-mac-150000-active-users-and-plenty-of-malware-found/

That may convince my stepmom to put an antivirus on her iMac. is the Avast! Mac version free? If not, what free Mac AVs are there?
